Does anyone know the condition of Curahee in 1942? Were the radio towers there? When was the current geographical monument placed on the mountain? I read it as 1972 or something. In the BOB Curahee episode, the marker was used to denote the top, is that original marker lost to history? Also where was the original in location to the current one? Did the towers at the top require that the original marker to be moved?

I ran it a few months ago and was curious (and tired). Time unknown as I stop at the top for about a half hour or so.

Thanks for any input.

Curahee, is the highest peak in the Georgia Piedmont that also includes Stone Mountain. In 1942, this part of Georgia was as rural as rural gets. The mountain itself is at the southern most end of the Blue Ridge Mountain Range. It seems to me that if there had been a radio towers, the men would have mentioned it. I did read that they climbed the mountain at night on their own. It seems to me if there had been a radio tower, Wild Bill might have swung from it or Winters would have mentioned it considering the summer job he had painting towers.

As part of the Chattahoochee National Forest, I find it doubtful that there would have been one. My suggestion is to email the nearest public library to Toccoa, and ask them.

The towers were not there in 1942 and their was no marker there in 1942 That was a Hollywood contrivance. There is one there now.
